Operation Identification Aides
North Canton Area Residents
>*
For those who may have forgotten or for new residents in the North Canton community, Operation' Identification is still operating here. The North Canton Police Department, in cooperation with North Canton Junior Woman's Club, launched-a drive in April, 1973, to curb residence burglaries with a city-wide program involving citizen
. participation.
The Local Operation
Identification plan
encourages citizens to stop
by the North Canton Police
Department and borrow an
electric pen that engraves
metal, glass, ceramics,
plastic and yrood surfaces.
The electric engravingin-
strument is on loan for 24-
hocrs at no charge during
which time the owner's social security number can
be marked -on anything
from TV sets to jewelry;
anything that would appeal
to would-be thieves. Place
your engraving on a non-
remqvable part of your
item, near the manufacturer's serial number i f
possible. The borrowers
keep records of what they
have markedand where.
The idea is to make possessions easily traceable,
should they be stolen.
Upon returning the e n-
graving pen to-r-the North
Canton Police Department, each bitizen will then
be given a window sticker
proclaiming "all itmes of
value on these premises
have been marked for ready
identification by law enforcement agencies."
The window sticker acts
as a preventive measure
and once a burglar knows
that the items in a house are
marked and can easilybe
traced, he is likely to think
twice about breaking in.
Since only 1 out of 5bur-
glaries' are solved, the
need for burglary deterrent
is urgent.

* Bicentennial 5§§|^j^S
Here we are about to have
another Turkey Feast. It
is that totally American .
Holiday - Thanksgiving. .
However, Thanksgiving
Day has had its share of
being moved about on the
calendar. Meals of praise
and giving of thanks have j
been a part of our history
since before the Pilgrims
landed when the Indians
praised the Great Spirit
for the bounty of the land.
February 1630 is our
first record of white people
giving thanks. In 1632, "a
publique Thanksgiving
day" was proclaimed to be
observed in June. Congress in 1788 changed it
to December 30. George
Washington, in 1789
changed it to November 26,
where it stayed until Abraham Lincoln moved it to the
last Thursday in November. So it seemed it might/"
stay, but yielding to pressure from merchants
Franklin Roosevelt nudged
it tc the fourth Thursday.
Thus keeping it one more
week aWay from Christmas
allowing Christmas sales
to flourish. Somehow it
doesn't seem to make any
difference, especially when
you see Christmas items
and ads before Halloween.
Since giving thanks is
paramount on this -da,v the
North Canton Bicentennial
Committee wishes tb express their deep gratitude
to the community in a number of ways. First, to the
North Canton Sun for their
willingness to allow us to
weekly "keepin touch"
with you. This kind of giving
is what makes the Bicentennial possible andworth-
while.
We would also like to
thank all the individuals already involved at committee levels. And all the organizations willing to become involved as a group
unit. Thiskind of cooperation is what spells total
succees for any undertaking. Volunteers are still
needed. Call us.
HERITAGE WEEK (February 15-21) could not
happen without coopera
tion and leadership. The
week includes a Civic Dedication Service on Sunday;
Special programs in the
schools, on Monday; Women te program Tuesday;
Wednesday -Senior Citizens program and ' YMCA,
Community Building Anniversary; Thursday is our
Community Birthday Party; Young Citizens Award
will have work session on
Friday. '
, CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
(June 28-July 4) is another
example of the need for
yolunteers to help execute
our plans. And our thanks
to those already involved.
The week promises to be
filled with excitement, fun
and meaningful entertainment. The children program s include Reading
Circle, puppets, magicians, music and drama. The
afternoon committee is
planning a style show,book
, review, Senior Citizens
Party, flower program and
show. The traditional evening programs will suit
everyone's taste. They
are The New BerlinBi-
centennial Band and Young
Patriots, Barbershop and

and Canton Civic Opera

O r 1 e a m's police raided a
"fence" (someone who
buys and resells stolen
property) allegedly selling stolen merchandise
and found over $100,000 in
goods. There was just one
clue leading to a rightful
owner;'a driver's license
. number etched upon a portable TV set. The police
plugged the number into a
computer and within three
minutes, the owner of the
hot set was identified.
They got the TV, back because of participation in
Operation Identification.
Operation Identification
originated in Monterey
Park, Calif., 11 years ago
in the hope that it would
combat their growingbur-
glary problem. Now,more
than 150 communities
stretching from Honolulu,
to Newark, N. J., have
initiated Operation Identification.

Motorists Must Stop For
School Buses In NC Limits
With the recent opening of the new4-lane Everhard
Road, -motorists shouldbe reminded of traffic laws concerning stopping for school buses, especially on 4-lane
highways.
In the Charter andCode
■ of Ordinances of the City of
North Canton, it states under School B us e s Sec. 73.
70, "the driver of a vehicle
upon a highway within the
limits of the city, upon
meeting of overtaking from
either direction any school
bus which has stopped on
the highway for the purpose
of receiving or discharging
any school child, shall stop
the vehicle not less than 10
feet from such school bus
and shall not proceed until
such school bus resumes
motion or. until signaled."
The only time a school bus
driver should signal • for
•vehicles to resume motion
is when the bus is broken
down or is being delayed for
some reason.
Although the following
statement dqes pot apply to
North CantonbecauseNorth
Canton has no divided highways, the law states that
"where a highway has been
divided into two roadways,
a driver of a vehicle proceeding on one roadway o f
said highway need not stop
when approaching a school
bus which has stopped on
the other roadway of said
highway for the purpose of
receiving or discharging
children." Motorists must
realize that Everhard Road
is not a divided highway but
a 4-lane highway.
The Ordinance goes on to
state that "school buses
operating on divided highways or highways with four
or more, traffic lanes shall
receive and discharge all
school children on t h e i r
residence side of the highway".,
When a bus driver discharges pupils, who must
cross a street or road, the
driver must not open the
service doors until traffic
has stopped.
In addition, the ordinance
states that "when approaching a 'stop', school b us
drivers shall cause t h e
operate in advance of that
'stop' so thatmotorists
shall have sufficient warning of his intentions."
Motorists must keep in
mind that a 1 though Ever-
hard Road is now a 4-lane,
the driver of a vehicle must
stop for school buses loading and unloading. Signs
stating this can be seen by
motorists along the roads
as they enter NorthCanton
City limits.

STUDY INFLATION
TO FIND THE CURS
Economists today can
agree on very little but it
seems in my mind that the
very least they could do is
to come up with an answer
for why we are facedwith
continually rising prices
in the marketplace. Not
until we find the problem
can we begin to cure the
ailment. Surely this
sounds simple, but is it
really any more complicated than that?
As laborers, managers,
business people, professionals and shoppers we
know that there 4re three
very important factors,
among others, in our economy that must be considered; these are labor,
materials and productivity.
Today, the costs of labor
and materials are at levels never known in our
own economic history.
This, considered with the
present decreasing level
of productivity, could be a
clear indicator of why the
dollar cannot buy what it
hought a year ago, or even
a month ago. To use anex-
ample, the cost'of sending a
single business letter has
risen to well over three
dollars.
While it may seem that 1
am oversimplifying,! am
merely suggesting that we
begin to look at this problem through some basic
factors and hopefully understand and be able to act
accordingly.
RECYCLING NEEDED v
TO MEET
INCREASED COSTS
The high cost of paper
and printing has made it
necessary for the General
Assembly to be very selective in which reports
and bills willbe printed.
Despite these efforts, we
are still spending considerably more for these
materials and services
than ever_ before.
A program of paper recycling, which is already
the practice in some state
agencies, should be implemented in the' General
Assembly and the Executive branch. Tons of paper
are disposed of monthly "
Ifere in the Statehouse and
I plan to investigate the
possibility of initiating a
recycling program which
should save the state some
considerable expense.

STUDY INFLATION
TO FIND THE CURS
Economists today can
agree on very little but it
seems in my mind that the
very least they could do is
to come up with an answer
for why we are facedwith
continually rising prices
in the marketplace. Not
until we find the problem
can we begin to cure the
ailment. Surely this
sounds simple, but is it
really any more complicated than that?
As laborers, managers,
business people, professionals and shoppers we
know that there 4re three
very important factors,
among others, in our economy that must be considered; these are labor,
materials and productivity.
Today, the costs of labor
and materials are at levels never known in our
own economic history.
This, considered with the
present decreasing level
of productivity, could be a
clear indicator of why the
dollar cannot buy what it
hought a year ago, or even
a month ago. To use anex-
ample, the cost'of sending a
single business letter has
risen to well over three
dollars.
While it may seem that 1
am oversimplifying,! am
merely suggesting that we
begin to look at this problem through some basic
factors and hopefully understand and be able to act
accordingly.
RECYCLING NEEDED v
TO MEET
INCREASED COSTS
The high cost of paper
and printing has made it
necessary for the General
Assembly to be very selective in which reports
and bills willbe printed.
Despite these efforts, we
are still spending considerably more for these
materials and services
than ever_ before.
A program of paper recycling, which is already
the practice in some state
agencies, should be implemented in the' General
Assembly and the Executive branch. Tons of paper
are disposed of monthly "
Ifere in the Statehouse and
I plan to investigate the
possibility of initiating a
recycling program which
should save the state some
considerable expense.
